Long line of cars in the right-turn lane, stopped behind some yokel who shouldn’t have a driver’s license. As in most of the country, “right turn on red after stop” is the law in America’s Third World County. So, light turns green, cars move forward and… stop as light turns red again and the illiterate, lazy, stupid boob in front of me just sits there. Oh, had I not mentioned that this is a “T” intersection and there is NO traffic to prevent proceeding after a stop, unless oncoming traffic on the street I was on (there was none) has a left turn arrow?
I honked a couple of times to wake the “Bela Vista driver*” ahead of me, but to no avail.
Idiot.
*Driver had an Arkansas tag. Bella Vista, Arkansas got its start as a planned community for retirees. Around here, when someone begins showing evidence of “Oldtimers’ Disease” we call that a “BellaVista moment”.
Heh. Bellavista moment. I like it. Although, retiree filled or not, Bella Vista is kinda nice (to drive through at least….).
Actually, more and more “young folks” (like Lovely Daughter and Super Son-in-Law) are finding bargain “starter homes” there, as elderly folk leave ’em for assisted living facilities or simply decide to sell investment or rental properties to simplify managing their retirements. So, while Bella Vista is still dominated by the Gray Crowd, it’s slowly becoming more youthful.
Reserve me a spot…lol
I hate people who drive like… well… pussies. I will not sit idly by while some timid person delays my journey. Take too long at a 4-way stop, I’m going through turn be damned. Won’t turn right on red, I’ll go over the curb and past you.
F.E.T.E.
I am not at all patient with stupid drivers. Lovely Daughter thinks that people who’re too stupid to drive should all have their cars taken away and put in a pool for competent drivers to choose from. I just think they should all be required to drive w/o seat belts.
